** The titular town itself, particularly in ''Silent Hill 2''. Some fans believe that whatever forces are manipulating things behind the scenes are determined to punish wrongdoers and help guide them to find redemption, while the majority maintain that these forces are ''purely'' malevolent, and instead seek to corrupt and condemn those who fall into its clutches, regardless of their true culpability.

The idea that there's any particular "will", moral or otherwise, behind these events is itself subject to interpretation, too.

* MagnificentBitch: [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds Alessa Gillespie]] is a powerful psychic born to Dahlia, a wicked head of the [[{{Cult}} Order]]. Used in a ritual to birth the Order's God, Alessa fights back by [[VideoGame/SilentHillOrigins telepathically communicating with trucker Travis Grady]], having him construct the Flauvos to regain her strength and retaliate. Separating half of her soul to be happily adopted by Harry Mason and his wife, Alessa resists seven years of torture before [[VideoGame/SilentHill luring back her other half]] to stop Dahlia's plans for good. Manipulating Harry, Alessa ensures God's birth is corrupted and it is defeated by Harry before reincarnating herself as a baby to be lovingly raised by him. [[VideoGame/SilentHill3 Leaving a failsafe]] to kill her own reincarnation should the Order try to use her to birth god again, Alessa is determined to save humanity from the cult at all costs.

* BrokenBase: A twofer. Fans of the games either find the movie to be a decent attempt at adopting the material into its own thing and avoiding typical pitfalls of VideoGameMoviesSuck ''or'' decry it for changing so many elements of the lore. On top of that, there is a split between general audiences and the fandom of the games, where general audiences were far more receptive to the straight-out horror, rather than focusing on the lore (which isn't particularly well explained). Generally speaking, the ''less'' someone obsess over the first three games, the better their opinion tends to be about the movie.
